Methods for Inducing Homologous Protein Dimerization
Proteins in biological systems rarely act alone, but instead bind with other biomolecules to trigger specific cellular reactions. These biomolecules are usually astonishing number of proteins self-assemble to form dimers, which are both in a relatively ...

Suppression of cell cycle progression by Jun dimerization protein (JDP2) involves down-regulation of cyclin A2 [PDF]
We report here a novel role for Jun dimerization protein-2 (JDP2) as a regulator of the progression of normal cells through the cell cycle. To determine the role of JDP2 in vivo, we generated Jdp2 knock-out (Jdp2KO) mice by targeting exon 1 to disrupt ...

CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

CENP-A Ubiquitylation Contributes to Maintaining the Chromosomal Location of the Centromere
The centromere plays an essential role in accurate chromosome segregation, and the chromosomal location of the centromere is determined by the presence of a histone H3 variant, centromere protein A (CENP-A), in centromeric nucleosomes.

Synthesis of Butenolides via a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons Cascading Dimerization Reaction
The efficient synthesis of a range of structurally related butenolides has been observed while we were exploring the substrate-scope of a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction.

Sequence Motifs in MADS Transcription Factors Responsible for Specificity and Diversification of Protein-Protein Interaction [PDF]
Protein sequences encompass tertiary structures and contain information about specific molecular interactions, which in turn determine biological functions of proteins.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Pd(OAc)2/Ph3P-catalyzed dimerization of isoprene and synthesis of monoterpenic heterocycles
The palladium-catalyzed dimerization of isoprene is a practical approach of synthesizing monoterpenes. Though several highly selective methods have been reported, most of them still required pressure or costly ligands for attaining the active system and ...

VEGFR-2 conformational switch in response to ligand binding
VEGFR-2 is the primary regulator of angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. VEGFR-2 has been hypothesized to be monomeric in the absence of bound ligand, and to undergo dimerization and activation only upon ligand ...
